Hello all,
I am off to Portugal tomorrow and am there for a week. I am staying in Monte Gordo down in the South and was looking at the possibility of going up to Lisbon for the day/a few hours. I have found an itinerary that looks ok, but was wondering if anyone could check to make sure it seems ok or if they have any other suggestions.
I read on another website that Monte Gordo has no TVM/Ticket office (or any facilities) and you need to buy a ticket on the train, do the guards speak English? As my Portuguese is non-existent! And are there return fares available? As all I have seen are one way tickets.
Many thanks.
P.S. If you have any other tips for while I'm there then I am all ears!
